Hi Magnus,
AFAICS there are roughly two sides to consider. Packages delivered in binary format, and packages delivered in source format (AUR).
Binary: The burden falls on the developers who provide the binary packages to make sure that all binary packages are mutually compatible.
Source: The burden falls on the user to make sure that his system is sane.
wait a second, let me get this straight. In case of AUR, the *user* has to figure out how to satisfy a package's dependencies? That is our policy? Take care, Peter
